We reacted exactly like we should. We had to put a stop to the bad stuff happening before it got too deep and we did that. The defense stopped them for 40 straight minutes and the offense scored seven of the final eight times we had the ball.
We don't have that number (of touches) in mind. One of the guys you could compare him to his Marshall Faulk, in that offense of the Rams. We'd be lucky if he could be like that.
They did a beautiful job, ... We did a really nice job with the offense and I'm real pleased with the opening.
Tonight the offense was just rolling. We finally got rolling in the turnover situation. We've been quiet lately. Stanford has been such a stingy team. We wanted to turn that thing around. To get five and give none, we loved that.
This offense needs an aggressive, big running back to build around the rest of what we do. I think that's really the formula for us. I love the downhill, hardball effect we can get from a big running back.
If we make a first down, the game is over. We had seen what he'd done the series before. That moment flashes by in an instant. We could have sealed win. We needed to do it on on offense and we didn't. We had to stop them on defense and we couldn't.
I can't ask the offense to score slower.
Their offense is really functioning at a high level. They make first downs and move the sticks, and work their way down the field much like New England has been doing over the years. It has been very effective, and it is the same offense.
Watching the film, I didn't think that would happen because they play such great pass defense and they're so aggressive. But Matt was on fire.
We're so young in so many areas. These next two weeks will be huge for our development.
With the little bits I have, no. I'm not concerned about that one bit. I'm more concerned with helping the process and making sure everything comes to the front.
We're going to continue to evaluate the situation and see what's going on.
We're in great shape, and everything is going to work out for the long haul. I'm not looking. I don't care about those opportunities. ... This is a good time for this. There'll be a tremendous amount of movement in the NFL a week from now.
Why stop a game if you're going to make mistakes fixing mistakes?
